i recommend dialog in the dark.
its truely an enjoyable experience,
to know how it feels to be blind,
and to understand the things the blind go through everyday.
first up, we did activities to warm up,
such as picking safety pins from a bowl of rice blindfolded,
and drawing a picture while being guided by a person who can see.
we then took the sticks, and walked into the room.
its really dark, you might think you can see light somewhere,
but its really dark, and you have to feel your way through the various rooms.
first up is the forest/park room, where there are trees we can feel, plants we can touch.
grass we walked on, pebbles, and even soil.
we then moved on to the water fall room, where we touched rocky walls,
and even walked over a suspension bridge.
the next room is the room with the boat ride experience,
truely amazing, with really good simulations.
we also crossed a traffic light, feel the surroundings of a carpark.
went to the fruits market, touched a letter box.
we even rang the doorbell of someone's house, and hearing dogs barking back at us.
last up was the cafe, where we ordered drinks and cookies from the visually impaired people.
Oh yes, the tour is guided by blind people, and they are really talented!
and my tour guide was chen wei lian kelvin.
really nice and funny guy!
